When the moon turns bitter and cold, The night starts whispering tales untold. No caress remains without a scar— No hand can heal what nights unbar. You're not just thirsty for the day, But for a wine that fades away, That pours from dreams you used to chase— Now lost in time, now out of place. A prisoner trapped in silent breath, A cage that sings the song of death. Your wings forgot what flight could be, Your wounds remain—no remedy.

Where did you go with feet so bare, Into a storm no soul could bear? You sleep beside the silent flame, The dawn arrives, but not the same. You built from nothing, dreamed too deep, But now your house falls in your sleep. A root was burned, a soul was spared— But was it life, or just despair?
